Young Dark Emu: A Truer History (HB) by Bruce Pascoe

$24.99 AUD

Category: Non Fiction

Bruce Pascoe has collected a swathe of literary awards for Dark Emu and now he has brought together the research and compelling first person accounts in a book for younger readers. Using the accounts of early European explorers, colonists and farmers, Bruce Pascoe compellingly argues for a reconsiderati on of the hunter-gatherer label for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians.
